This being Presidents Day, will you be playing something from The Presidents of the United States of America? They had a couple songs out in the early 90's. Evidently, they're still around.

Yes, way better than Janis. But then I had a roommate destroy Janis for me years ago.

uh, yeah, you know you've made a prominently questionable comment if egal surfaces to check you...
can't we just say Dusty's version is worthy without labelling it "ridiculously better" than BB&HC's original? It's President's Day fer Chrissakes, can't we have a little respect for all that's sacred?

Nothing but listening to The Cure, watching a cure, and eating cured salami. Fitting after having Raced for the Cure.

@fleep: this new hotel, the 21,000 cubic yards of concrete, what used to be there in that part of downtown?

Has seawater-based concrete been invented yet? That would help conserve the scarce California fresh water.

So, Therese, did you have a nice Valentine's Day?
Did amEdeo take you to a dressy-uppy, white tablecloth and candlelight place for dinner, or was it the vintage video-game arcade again?

@ fleep: there are some things they should just leave alone, so I get scared when I hear about these projects, but that Wilshire Grand was no Beverly Wilshire or Hollywood Roosevelt. Or even the Bonaventure.

P-90 and considering the new tower will have the worlds highest above ground swimming pool the crushing of everything meaningful seems like a small price to pay.

@Whooda The previous hotel was a drab 50s thing, no loss, as Tigers just typed. There's a big Chinese project but that's a parking lot right now, so far no worthy architecture is going down, in fact, some are retrofitting (and gentrifying).

P- niner zero, dammnit:
sorry, still trying to get the feel for the "switching personae" feature on the FMU Mobile App, and if you see a lot of typos in my posts, its 'cause of this durn thing too
(Disclaimer: "Tigers" and I is just good friends)

@whoo: like the cetacean says, that particular building and corner downtown did not have a lot of irreplaceable character, that 's why I was relieved. In the future, though, they are gonna wonder why some really unigue things couldn't just be set aside, you know what I mean

I guess the combination of CA drought and the Wiltshire swimming pool, makes the building the worlds tallest water tower.

The worrisome project is in Hollywood, it will surround and dwarf the Capitol Records building, far too tall and outsize for that neighborhood - and smack on top of an earthquake fault (the developers kind of sort of didn't check).

@whoo & fleep: I've been saying this for years, when the long overdue Big One quake hits Southern California, it's water that's going to be the
most critical issue, there'll be all kinds of problems there, but all thr fresh water comes into the LA basin from a single aqueduct, and when that breaks, you'll have this enormous population in crisis, and no way to bring adequate fresh water in to support it

@ fleep : what, they're building some behemoth at Hollywood and Vine that will "dwarf and surround the Capitol Records building"? That should be sacred-cow turf, that's just the kind of thing that should be forbidden, I dont even want to Google it, I'll get too pissed off

Jake The tri-city area in NC (Chapel Hill area I think) is already a high-technology corridor too it's in the Piedmont, the geographical area between the mountains and sand dunes of the Atlantic coast. Ashville is in multicultural in the Blue Ridge Mountains, GORGEOUS, but quickly becoming over populated an gentrified, too much for my tastes. Though plenty of open space all around everywhere out there.

@jake, you should ride your choo-choo out there some time, there's a lot thats worth saving and an abundance of land to build whatever new shit anyone could want without crushing the irreplaceable past. And the locals do care,very much, it's the politico$ who find excuses to sell them out

Regardless of how it's pronounced, it was nice of Therese to play it. That's something that 99% of the radio stations in the U.S. won't do. And at least one of her proposed pronunciations was correct.
